Iphone fullscreen still show the browser top bar

Many app windows contain a toolbar with buttons that provide quick access to frequently used features, tools, or actions. When you’re using an app, you can hide the toolbar or choose which buttons to include and how they appear.

When you resize a window, toolbar buttons can become hidden as the window narrows. To show a list of the hidden items, click the double arrows

at the end of the toolbar.

If your Mac has a Touch Bar, many apps—like Mail or Safari—let you customize it. See Customize the Touch Bar.

Whenever I bring a video to fullscreen on YouTube (on Chrome or Safari), the video will go to fullscreen but the dock and menu bar remain visible, covering the top and bottom parts of the video. They used to be hidden when I went to fullscreen, so I don't know what happened. How do I fix this?

If none of that works, open Terminal and enter killall Dock.

I have this same problem with YouTube, Netflix, mPlayerX and VLC, where the Dock stays visible (on-top) after making the video go full screen.

This problem can be fixed by going into System Preferences...Mission Control and turning off the option "Displays have separate spaces." You have to logout after making this change.

If you make the browser fullscreen before making the video fullscreen, this problem should disappear.

I had the same issue and I find it. This has to do with multiple monitors and mirroring (I connect my tv on the mac). Turn "Display mirroring" to off. That's it!

For me this works:

First switch Chrome window mode to full screen mode by pressing the green dot on the top left side of the view:

After that menu bar should be hidden so now enter full screen mode in youtube player:

Enjoy your video on full screen without menu bar.

One workaround for this is to change Dock positioning to somewhere else and putting it back to your preferred position. You can do this under Dock & Menu Bar section of System Preferences.

For me I had to use /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --app="http://youtube.com" to have it work.

In my case, I discovered the source of this issue was the setting Automatically show and hide the menu bar being set to Always. By setting it to In Full Screen Only, the issue was resolved.

How do I hide the top bar in full screen Safari?

Adjusting Toolbar Visibility You can choose to hide or show the toolbar in full screen mode. To do this, go to "View" in the top menu bar, then select "Hide Toolbar" or "Show Toolbar." This can be especially helpful if you want to reduce distractions further while still having access to the address bar and tabs.

How do I get rid of the top bar on my Apple?

Hide or show the toolbar: Choose View > Hide Toolbar or View > Show Toolbar. While working in full screen for some apps, choose View > Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen.

Why does my Safari toolbar keep disappearing?

The Mac top menu bar disappears when your computer's settings are designed to do so, but full-screen mode can also result in you no longer being able to see it. The level of transparency might also impact whether you can see the menu bar on your device.

Why does full screen not show tabs?

Why can't I see my tabs in full screen on Chrome? Some of you might have noticed that if you full screen Chrome, then all your tabs will be covered. To solve this problem, you can simply go to View on the top of the screen (hover your pointer above it and it'll appear), and press Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen.
